Dihydroxaethyl stearamine oxide is used in cosmetic formulations. The substance acts as an antistatic agent (reduces static charges by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface of skin and hair). Dihydroxaethyl stearamine oxide also acts as a surfactant and foaming agent (increases foam formation and improves volume, structure and durability of the foam).
